LOCAL 4951 Executive
Local 4951 is run by its members, for its members. It is a democratic organization. Executive Board members are elected at the General Meeting in February every year to serve for a 2-year term. Part of the Executive is elected in even years and part is elected in odd years. This is to give stability to the Executive Board. All executive members perform their duties in addition to their regular positions. The executive is made up of sixteen members. There are also three Trustee positions which are elected for three-year terms. Only one Trustee position is elected every year.
The Executive has created a more in-depth job description for all executive officers. We have posted it under the member’s area.
